Rummage Sale Registration

2013 Rummage Sale
The Rummage Sale is always a fun day - we get to hang out with our friends, get rid of some stuff we don't want anymore, make a little money, and spend that money on things our friends don't want anymore!  We will be at a new location this year - The Excellence Center in Waukesha.  Click the above link for all the details and for the registration form.

The Next Meeting is...
